Not available now, but I don't see why not if Dish wanted.

Where would the movie that you download be stored without a hard drive.

It's not a streaming service. It needs the harddrive to be stored on.

Get a DVR.. Streaming devices need a hard drive/storage device.

Many of us already have external drives connected to our 211's with DVR functionality. No reason why BBMP shouldn't work with them.

I have a 922 so I have a DVR

I do think making the streaming portion of the service available for customer's with a 211 and an external hard drives is a fantastic idea. I will be more than happy to forward this suggestion on your behalf.

Why not get it working on the 922 before we start fantasizing about other devices?

 

[jerryez]

Dish is working on that for the 922 and it is coming SOON!

'Soon' as in 2012? I work in a computer science department at one of the nations best engineering schools. I bet I could take a couple of students and have this done in a few days!

Streaming video only requires a small amount of memory for a buffer.

Au contraire. (Pardon my French.) It is a streaming service. But, they do it in a weird, non-standard way.
